The Province is taking the next steps to make the controversial K-6 curriculum a reality throughout Alberta schools this fall.

They have appointed a curriculum implementation advisory group consisting of School Board Trustees, Superintendents and teachers who are piloting the program; and they 
also have plans to meet with First Nation school authorities to obtain advice. 

According to Education Minister, Adriana Lagrange, the Province is taking received feedback and concerns into account and the advisory group aims to make piloting and implementation manageable for teachers and students.

"Alberta’s government has been listening to all input from Albertans about the draft K-6 curriculum review process," explains Lagrange. "We are committed to taking a measured and thoughtful approach to ensure curriculum piloting and implementation timelines are manageable for teachers and students. With the expertise of the Curriculum Implementation Advisory Group, Alberta’s government will carefully consider how to address the implementation timelines and support the education system throughout the process."

The Province will take recommendations from the appointed group to help with how the new curriculum for English language arts, literature, math, physical education and wellness will be successfully implemented in September.

The group will meet monthly until June and provide recommendations to the government on timing, preparing the education system, and classroom supports.
